Player Development Pathway: U5 – U8

The future is now!

We aim to make the CDO Player Development Pathway the first step in a lifelong love of soccer!

In the U5-U8 age groups, we now have four mini seasons each 6-7 weeks in lengths, allowing more players & families more flexibility in when they play!

Each mini season includes training sessions twice a week and in-house games on weekend.

Soccer is not a 'job' for children nor should it be! Our focus continues to be on enjoyment, learning and giving all players the opportunity to play and develop their skills in a positive coaching environment.

NEW - Access for all coaches to our season long training plans on The Coaching Manual website, with learning content from a current English Premier League Club academy

Phoenix Rising first team coach Rick Schantz, after seeing our program in action, described it as "light years ahead" of anything else he had seen in Tucson, and we're looking to improve upon even further.

I hope that you too can see the difference with our program and what it has to offer as we continue to grow across the north west.
